Kerry found art to be a lifeline during her recovery, beginning to paint in rehab where she discovered the depth of artistic techniques and history. Since becoming newly sober in early 2025, she has used art therapy to express herself, build confidence, and develop a passion that helps her navigate each day with strength and hope. Her “Advocates Hand” collection, inspired by her role as a mother and advocate for her children, especially her son’s journey, symbolizes resilience, unity, and unconditional love, inviting viewers to connect deeply with the emotions and stories behind her work.

I’m beyond grateful to be part of Art Battle Philly 💥🎨

Art isn’t just something I do—it’s been a lifeline. I started painting during rehab, and it’s helped me stay grounded in my recovery journey since January 16, 2025. To me recovering is, one day at a time, living for today. It is about strength, love, showing up, and turning pain into purpose.

To anyone going through addiction, struggle, or just trying to keep your head above water—you are not alone. You don’t have to be a professional to use art as therapy. Just start. Let it out. Heal out loud.

It’s not about perfection—it’s about progress.
Let’s keep creating. Let’s keep going.
